in reply to NFS locking with Fcntl

What exactly is wrong with File::NFSLock that you have to find an alternative?

What type of locking do you need or want? Do you want atomic, mandatory locking? Do you want advisory locking for a single application?

Why are you using a filesystem that's long been known to have problems with this sort of thing when there are many shared filesystems and clustered, more reliable filesystems that don't?
